OK so I had a humbling experience at trivia. I need to get better with cardinality and geography

Maybe those go hand-in-hand but when I tell you it’s bad, it’s bad. I am the person who is clowned for not recognizing x country on a map

What would be the best way to complete such a feat

up the ante

quit trivia and enter a career in political geography, then you'll almost never be wrong but if you are it'll be 100x more embarrassing
I memorized the countries of the world using Sporcle quizzes
If you hear the name of a country in a news story, look it up on Google Maps
Watch the "Nations of the World" bit from The Animaniacs cartoon on repeat, "A Clockwork Orange", style.

Sporcle quizzes, over and over
- Sporcle is still a thing?
  
  Yeah it’s still around. Do like “countries of North America,” “countries of South America” etc and work your way up to “countries of the world”
Get a world map tattooed on your hands.

Seems like the sort of thing a silly web game would help on?

Just searched, can't give reviews:
